Product Specifications

Offering "Minimum Exposure and Maximum Excitement", the MX home theater system delivers big, immersive audio entertainment from the smallest set of speakers yet.Whether you want to relax to smooth tunes or host a movie screening, the MX home audio speakers serve up some serious wow factor - immersive sound that won't drown out your decor or intrude upon your everyday lifestyle.Consisting of five itty bitty speakers and a miniature subwoofer cube, the MX is a sophisticated surround sound system that perfectly demonstrates what's possible using all of today's incredible technologies. In fact, its extremely high-performance drivers and components will blow you away, so hold on tight.Each two-way MX speaker has a maximum power handling of 100 watts, allowing it to work well with a wide variety of amplifiers. Inside each durable polycarbon enclosure, you'll find a pure titanium hybrid tweeter for warm, rich high frequencies and a 2.5-inch aluminum woofer for substantial, low distortion bass performance.However, the fact that Mirage was able to apply its unique Omnipolar technology to a product this size is the most impressive feature of them all - it's what makes these small audio speakers sound huge and immersive. At the core of Omnipolar technology, you'll find the patented Omniguide module, which has two deflectors. While one deflector rests on top of the speaker's tweeter, the tweeter itself is housed in a deflector, suspended over the woofer. These combined elements distribute sound directly towards the listener, as well as reflect it off walls, ceilings and other surfaces - resulting in a 360-degree soundstage that evenly permeates the listening environment.An 8-inch cube constructed of rigid MDF, the MX system's MM-6 subwoofer employs an 800-watt amplifier, dual 6.5-inch black anodized aluminum passive radiators and a 6.5-inch anodized aluminum cone woofer with an inverted Ribbed Elliptical Surround, delivering tight, powerful bass response with low distortion. The subwoofer also includes a proprietary protection circuit, letting you achieve clear bass at all volume levels. A low pass filter with bypass mode allows the subwoofer to blend perfectly with the other MX speakers, using the built-in crossover or a home theater receiver.
